The Pittsburg Times

The Times began publication on 2 February 1880, with Pittsburgh Leader veteran Robert P. Nevin as founder, proprietor and editor.

[3][1] The new publishers attracted subscribers by cutting the price of an issue from two cents to a penny,[1] and by the end of the decade, reported a daily circulation exceeding that of the city's other morning papers.

The Pittsburg Daily News was launched in 1896 as the sister newspaper and evening counterpart of the morning Times.

[9] An earlier unrelated Pittsburgh Times existed roughly contemporaneously with the national Anti-Masonic movement of the late 1820s and the 1830s.

[12] The paper was established in opposition to Freemasonry and for most of its existence catered to "those who prefer the Supremacy of the Laws to the domination of the Lodge.
